I believe “Balls-On Marketing: How To Be Sufficiently Arrogant (Without Being A Jerk)” … would be the best title for this very good piece

I usually don’t try to tell people what to do on their own website — but that would be insufficiently arrogant of me

Why do I rock?

Because I can write your copy, content, forms, articles, recipes, fiction, and even sarcastic emails in two languages.

@Lodewijk – see, this is where my brain fails & I should probably hire some marketing help.

@Julie – When I read your pitch, I was thinking that it was to much about you and not that much about them. One of the things I learned from Naomi is to focus on the “You”. Not the features but the benefits. Or “Don’t tell what you bring to the table, tell what they take away from the table.” Your pitch could be better if you turn it around like that (although I like it already).

But I think it’s hard to balance the focus on benefits and the arrogance stance, I wonder how Dave and Naomi feel about this.

Wow! The timing of this post could not be better. I’m in a situation where I’ve sent out loads of samples & catalogs to retailers and magazine editors and now’s the time to call (yes, gulp, on the telephone) and follow-up. How I dread this part. I’ll practice here:

I design and create the most adorable handmade greeting cards. Our cards are THE best – they are 100% handmade in the U.S. of A – no imports here. The attention to detail in our cards is amazing. With my company, you get excellent customer service & follow-up and quick order turn around time. Are my cards going to bring peace to the world or stop world hunger? No. But are they going to make someone smile – heck yes!
